PACIFIC INVESTIGATION.
The Commission Examines tx Gov.
Click.

ATHIsoN, KAs., July 5.-Ths Pa.
cific Railway Investigating Commits
sion arrived here this morning, con.
sistiae OF Elk Gov. Robert E. Pattison,
of Pennsylvania; E Ellery Anderson,
OF New York, and David 8. Little, OF
Illinois, with John Norris, OF Phila-
delphis, as ststistician, and Charles P.
Young, OF New York, a. secretary
and stenographer. The commission
ers examined Ex.Gov. G. W. Click,
who testified that until the appoint
ment Of the State Railroad Commits.
eioners in Kansas in 1888, there had
been much complaint throughout the
State against al.railIoad companies,
including the Pacific roads, for dis
eliminating against individual and
classes OF shippers, but since that date
the complaints have become some
what less frequent and less serious,
owing to the fact tina! the State COM
mission exercised Its authority to re.
duce rates. Prior 10 1882 the rail.
road companies In Kansas ran the
political campaigns, managed politics
and, ss was bslievsd, controlled the
Legislature, bat the bitter feeling pro.
duced by that and other causes against
tie ros is had somew lat subsided eince
tire appoiotmen. Of the Commission.
Still there were tome complaints.
Gov. Click did not believe The Cen.
trail Branch Of the Upion Pacific road
could pay Its s1sreof the debt which
the road owed the government. He
thought the couury bad received
sufficient benefit from the Pacific
roads, by ressoa Of their
development Of the region
through which they passed, to
warrant the cancelstion OF the debt.
After remaining few hours aud ex.
aiming other WITNESSES, the Commis-
Q on left for Topeka, where they will
hold a session tonight. Early tomor-
row they will holdas ession Ia Leaven-
worth, and later II the day in Kansas
City, with viewt, sscertaining the
opinions Of the people as to the facili.
ties afforded then by the Pacific roads.
